I had posted on here too but it is gone now. For suspension and brakes you can use a lot of the first gen rx7 stuff. The front suspension is a bolt in affair, but I suggest using coil overs and camber plates to get things right. Up top you can either drill new holes or use the 323/glc strut mount with a bearing. You wagon has leafs in the rear so leaf spring lowering is accomplished just like any other car with leaf springs. Rear shocks are actually still available for your application as well. Check Rock Auto and Ebay for oem items like bushings and voltage regulators etc.

thanks for the info. The RX-7 struts are lower than the stock glc ones right? I've seen a few sites that sell one or two types of front coilovers for the 7. I'm going to have a go with that soon

I'm getting ready to swap my 1982 GLC wagons front suspension with a coilover set-up from a 1981 rx7. I would read the tech articles from the AusRotary website as recommended in a previous post. The thread pitch on Mazda brake lines changed in 1981/82 (outlined in the tech articles) and of course they're different on my two set-ups. The GLC is really just a universal parts bin of whatever they had..... Lots of pieces interchange with earlier rx3/808 cars. These cars are getting really hard to find these days..... most went to the crusher.

Yes rx7 front suspension does lower a glc significantly...and introduces quite a bit of positive camber. You will want to dial that out with adjustable strut tops or camber plates. The real benefit is the brakes.
